IAAP Connections

An exclusive tool for members to communicate with one another, ask questions, and share resources and information.

IAAP will develop and implement a professional development framework program to provide professionals working in accessibility and those interested in knowing more about accessibility the knowledge they need to influence and implement accessibility within their organization.

Accessibility Statement

The International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) is dedicated to the concept of accessibility for all participants. We recognize that our work promoting the development of an accessibility profession can never be complete unless all people can engage in education, networking and certification opportunities. We will work both to deliver accessible information and services and to continually improve in areas where new accessibility barriers are identified.

Meeting accessibility standards is one important aspect of achieving our goal. The W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 – also known as ISO/IEC 40500:2012 – is the best-known international standard for accessibility and is being adopted into policy by countries and organizations around the world. The IAAP targets WCAG 2.0 AA to guide our efforts in delivering accessible content.

Your feedback is helpful in identifying issues with our site, and we request that you email us at accessibility@accessibilityassociation.org if you notice any issues. In return, we pledge to promptly acknowledge your feedback and provide an expected date for the issue to be addressed.

IAAP Mission

The mission of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) is to define, promote and improve the accessibility profession globally through networking, education and certification in order to enable the creation of accessible products, content and services.
